The following KSCO commentary is an encore presentation. Here is Kay Zwerling:

Last week I received an urgent letter for funds to support Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona. It appears that the powers that be do not like the fact that Arpaio is being too successful in his job.

Arpaio is being punished for being “tough on crime”.

He continues to fight to stop illegal immigration, and he forces prisoners to wear pink jump suits, and he cracks down on the criminal wave coming across our southern border with Mexico.

According to the Wall Street Journal, since February 2007, Sheriff Arpaio has arrested about 30,000 illegal immigrants, and the administration is now attempting to curb the powers of this true American. Now, Obama wants to discredit Arpaio, silence him, and remove him from his job.

Why, you might wonder, would our leader who promised change, honesty, and transparency want to discard the Sheriff who is doing such a good job for our Country?

Well, here is the simple answer – Liberals led by the ACLU have filed 2,700 lawsuits against Sheriff Joe – accusing him of illegally profiling Latinos.

But, they are indeed illegal and they are Latinos from Mexico, and that is not profiling.

Also, President Obama has been doing a dismal job as President and he knows that if he has any chance of remaining in office for more than one term – clearly he must do everything in his power to convince the Country to give amnesty to the illegal immigrants who are here. If that happens, of course, those new Americans will keep him in office for two terms.

Along with amnesty, the following will happen: The illegals will expect Welfare benefits, free healthcare, free hospitalization for childbirths, and free schooling in Spanish. And, who will pay for those perks? You and me!

Most Americans do not get these taxpayer-funded handouts.

Why should those who come here illegally get them?

The Left likes to think there are 11 million illegals here.

That was the estimate eight years ago. The amount could now be closer to 29 million.

To make this wonderful tough honest American, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the fall guy for Obama’s agenda, I say it stinks!

Sheriff Joe should remain where he is, and remind Congress that they are not serving time in a hotel, and continue to expose illegals.

And, We the People should support Arizona – and remain alert, and not allow amnesty for illegals, and the U.S. government should close the borders!

(Bill Graff says): “Kay reports: Not much in Joe Arpaio’s situation has changed almost two years later.”

This is chuckle time. Because most of us are stressed out with worry about the direction of our beloved Country, let’s take out a few moments to laugh. My son Lou shared this one with me, and it is called “Law dilemma” –

A young law student having failed his law exam goes up to his crusty old professor who was renowned for his razor-sharp legal mind.

Student: Sir, do you really understand everything about this subject?

Professor: Actually I probably do, otherwise I would not be a professor, would I?

Student: OK, so I would like to ask you a question. If you can give me the correct answer, I will accept my mark as it is. If you cannot give me the correct answer, however, you have to give me an A. OK?

The professor agreed, and the student asked him the following question: “What is legal but not logical – logical but not legal – and neither logical nor legal?”

The professor thought about it for some time, and could not answer that question.

So, finally he gives up and changes the student’s failing mark to an A as agreed, and the student goes away very pleased.

The professor continues to wrack his brain over the question all afternoon, but still cannot get the answer, so finally he calls in a group of his brightest students and tells them he has a really really tough question to answer, “What is legal but not logical – logical but not legal – and neither logical nor legal?”

To the professor’s surprise and embarrassment, all the students immediately raised their hands.

“Alright,” said the professor, and asked his favorite student to answer.

“It is quite easy, sir,” says the student, “You see, you are 75-years-old, married to a 30-year-old woman, which is legal but not logical. Your wife has a 22-year-old lover, which is logical but not legal. And, your wife’s lover failed his exam, but you have just given him an A, which is neither legal nor logical.”

Because of the KGO disruptive episode a while ago, our listenership has grown enormously, for which we are delighted and grateful.

Most of the new listeners do so via the internet, so MZ has happily obtained a very substantial amount of bandwidth to accommodate them, and because of the newcomers I shall now occasionally broadcast more of the Commentaries from my book, like now –

This was broadcast in September 2008, with additions now, and it is just as relevant today –

The sad current fact is that there no longer is a true media in our Country. The news that We the People are getting is no longer honest and balanced. It is a planned liberal machine committed to making Barack Obama President, again. And, it furthers the motto of leftist extremists, which is “The end always justifies the means.”

In 2008, the McCain campaign was barely covered, and then mostly to ridicule Sarah Palin.

The public unfairly was not getting the real truth. The deck was stacked. It is the same now.

Obama never held an executive job in his life. While in Congress, he voted Present, most of the time.

As President, who must make clear, fast decisions, Obama has been a dismal failure.

He cannot make fast decisions – in fact, he is almost incapable of making any decisions.

He puts most of them off, hopefully until his next four years.

Now, please listen to this urgent request from Tom Winter, President and Editor in Chief of Human Events, a credible conservative Washington, D.C., weekly:

Dear Conservative Friends, They say the truth hurts – in Obama’s case, it is devastating.Not surprisingly, the BIG media has kept the American public blind to the truth about Obama including: The fact that a corrupt Chicago machine politician “made a U.S. Senator out of Barack Obama”.Also, how Obama won his first election by having his lawyers knock all his opponents off the ballot on technicalities – that is a great tool for shady lawyers. Then, the Tony Rezko connection “I have never done any favors for him”, says Obama, about convicted developer Tony Rezko. Oh, but yes he has. Then, Obama’s connection to ACORN, the ultra liberal tough organization, which started many years ago with good intentions and which supposedly bullied banks recently to make subprime loans to unqualified people. Tom Winter wants to expose the many skeletons in Obama’s closet by sending specifically to young people, especially those on college campuses, the editorial supplement called “The Truth About Obama, what every citizen needs to know.”

Finally, these are very critical times in our Country! We must not allow these BIG MEDIA LYING SCOUNDRELS and liberal college professors to succeed in keeping this incompetent candidate in the White House for another four years. If that happens, we will lose our Country to socialism.

How can I not share this gem from an unknown author who must have spent considerable time to research all the following?

To President Barack Hussein Obama and all 535 voting members of this Legislature – and to keep it fair, let’s go back a number of decades of U.S. government leaders.

It is apparent that many of you must be incompetent. 1. The USPS (that is the Post Office) was established in 1775. You have had 234 years to get it right, and it is broke.2. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right, and it is broke.3. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right, and it is broke.4. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years to get it right, and both of them are broke.5. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it right, and it is broke.6. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24B per year and we import more oil than ever before, and now gas is approaching $5 per gallon. You have had 32 years to get it right, and it is an abysmal failure.

You have failed in every "government service" you have initiated with enthusiasm while overspending our tax dollars.

And, now you want Americans to believe you can be trusted with a government-run healthcare system called Obamacare?! We are broke.

In the last several decades, we have provided foreign aid to many countries, some not even our friends.

America – a Country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without needed medications, and mentally ill without treatment, etc.

If all of the foregoing information is indeed true, we Americans must vote in more competent leaders with more compassion for our own needy.

The following is a KSCO commentary. Here is Kay Zwerling: Someone I know sent this to me. The subject is “Presidential Firsts”. Who said President Obama hasn't done anything?Here’s an impressive list of “accomplishments” in just three years: First President to apply for college aid as a foreign student, then deny he was a foreigner.First President to have a Social Security number from a state he has never lived in.First President to preside over a cut to the credit-rating of the U.S. First President to violate the War Powers Act.First President to be held in contempt of Court for illegally obstructing oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.First President to defy a Federal Judge’s Court Order to cease implementing Obamacare. First President to spend a trillion dollars on ‘shovel-ready’ jobs when there was no such thing as ‘shovel-ready’ jobs.First President to tell a major manufacturing company (that’s Boeing) in which State they are allowed to locate a factory.First President to file lawsuits against the states he swore an Oath to protect (that’s Arizona, Wisconsin, and Ohio).First President to appoint 45 czars to replace elected officials in his office.First President to hide his medical, educational, and travel records.First President to win a Nobel Peace Prize for doing Nothing to earn it.First President to not know how to properly pronounce Navy 'corpsman'.First President to go on multiple global ‘apology tours’ – including bowing to foreign rulers.First President to go on 17 lavish vacations, including date nights, paid by the taxpayer.And finally, First President to have 22 personal servants (taxpayer funded) just for his wife!

I am not sure which is worse – Barrack Hussein Obama getting away with this, or The People letting him get away with it, in a Country "of the people, by the people, and for the people".

I wrote this in November 2005, and sadly it is more timely now in 2012.

Anti-semitism is an incurable social disease. How tragic that it is rampant in American universities.

Local attorney Gil Stein wrote a letter to the Sentinel in 2005 saying that anti-semitism was alive and well at UCSC and that anti-semitism was increasing on college campuses throughout the Country.

How is this possible in institutions of higher learning where parents of college students pay as much as $100,000 for four years so their children can become educated, fair-thinking members of society?

Because Gil Stein’s letter is very worrisome, I will repeat portions of it along with my own thoughts so that many others in this area can be made aware of this ugly situation, which, if not confronted, will escalate just as it did in Germany in the early 1930s when I lived through it and lost members of my own family.

Please listen, then register your outrage with the local Chancellor and those irresponsible members of the faculty who say nothing about this very noticeable disagreeable issue.

Pro-Palestinian speakers receive University sponsorship while pro-Israel speakers are denied sponsorship by those same departments.

The University promotes diversity, but not diversity with which they disagree. This policy of looking the other way when certain speakers spout racist venom needs to stop.

Academic freedom should not be a cover for bigotry. All campuses should also be open to speakers who do not represent the views of the “politically correct”.

I say shame on the biased and gutless faculty and leaders who encourage prejudice to fester in places of higher learning. Remember – when good people remain silent and do nothing, bad things happen and evil takes hold. It is called the Sin of Omission.

Our publically financed universities must no longer become institutions of hate and selective discrimination.

And now, let’s fast forward to 2012 –

Despite the fact that anti-semitism remains an incurable social disease – all fair-thinking people must speak out and protest such despicable actions.

Denying that there ever was a Holocaust – which is really left out of textbooks in Europe at this time, does not deny that barbarism.

That is the height of shame and cowardous. Good people must denounce it instead of denying its existence.

I just learned about the meaning of the flag-draped coffin. Maybe some of you knew this, but some may not.

Those who think that America is an arrogant nation should really re-consider that thought. Our Founding Fathers used God's Words and teachings to establish our Great Nation.

Be proud of the Country we live in, and even more proud of those who serve to protect our “God given” rights and freedoms. Here is how to understand the flag that is laid upon the coffin and is surrendered to so many widows and widowers:

Do you know that at military funerals, the 21-gun salute stands for the sum of the numbers in the year 1776?

Have you ever noticed the Honor Guard pays meticulous attention to correctly folding the USA flag 13 times? You probably thought it was to symbolize the original 13 colonies, but we learn something new every day!

The 1st fold is a symbol of life. The 2nd fold is a symbol of the belief in eternal life.The 3rd fold is in honor and remembrance of the Veterans departing the ranks who gave a portion of their lives for the defense of our Country.The 4th fold represents the weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in time of war.The 5th fold is a tribute to our Country in dealing with other countries. The 6th fold is for where people's hearts lie. It is with their hearts that they pledge allegiance to the flag of the USA, and the Republic for which it stands.

The 7th fold is a tribute to its Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that they protect their Country and their flag against all her enemies.

The 8th fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the shadow of death.

The 9th fold is a tribute to womanhood, and Mothers. For it has been through their faith, their love, loyalty, and devotion that has made this Country so great. The 10th fold is a tribute to the father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of their Country. The 11th fold represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon, and glorifies in the Hebrews’ eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.The 12th fold represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in the Christians' eyes, God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

And finally, the 13th fold, or when the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost reminding the recipient of their Nation’s motto “In God We Trust”.

Share this with the children you love and all others who love what is referred to, the symbol of Liberty and Freedom. One nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all. Our Soldiers have preserved your right to make this choice!

It may be delinquent for our government to not recognize our military to the extent that it deserves by not giving it and its families higher wages.

Able-bodied young men are urged to join the military and put themselves in harm’s way, but they may receive low wages and if they have families their wages may also be low compared to those persons working at desk in our now large Obama government.

When Obama used the first stimulus billions in his government to reward his buddies for helping him become President by enlarging our government unnecessarily, that was a total waste – now we have further expenses and still no new real jobs.

Now we see too many of our soldiers coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan crippled (why are we fighting so far from home?).

Many return without arms or legs with permanent disabilities and struggle financially and it does not appear that our government offers much help simply because our TV’s are filled with requests for We the People to help our Veterans and continue doing so indefinitely.

To a point, We the People should be generous, but when does our government step in and also help?

For many years, I have chosen to help the Paralyzed Veterans – but lately I have been receiving every day in the mail at least 30 requests for help from Veterans associations and other needy charities.

Because of these abundant requests so suddenly, I am somewhat irritated to learn that my name and the names of other charitable Americans have been sold to many other organizations asking for help. And, that is a violation of our privacy!

It may be way past time for Obama and our federal government to step up to the plate and also help all of our needy soldiers and their families.

It is the moral responsibility of the government who sent our men into war, to take care of them and their families indefinitely if necessary – and if private citizens would like to help out, that would be compassionate, but our government must be the one responsible entity.

And finally, why can’t we think carefully before we allow ourselves to go to war with other countries? Can’t we see that nobody wins in wars except the companies who create the guns and ammunition? Otherwise, every side loses.
